I read most of The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz (who wrote The Four Agreements) almost 2 years ago. The other day I picked it up and realized that I had not finished it so I read the last bit. I need to go back and reread from the beginning but Part of it that I was reading made me think of this tribe.

The Voice of Knowledge is all about how most of the things we "know" and are taught are lies. We start out in paradise and along the way we learn that we are not good enough or whatever. He says that we are the authors of our story and we can write it however we want and that is how we will see it. (I hope I'm paraphrasing him accurately).

One thing he said that struck me was "When the main character is authentic, it is easy to write your story with integrity, with common sense, with love."

What do you think? How much of our lives is the story we write about what happens? How has your life changed when you changed?
